He added, “All of these films have threatened to turn Gotham inside out and to collapse it on itself. None of them have actually achieved that until this film.”
Christopher Nolan, once also spoke of The Joker saying, “When we reveal the Joker card, that very much felt like the appropriate ending for Batman Begins. It wasn’t really about setting up a sequel. I wanted [the audience] to leave the theater with their minds just spinning, Batman has arrived. That was always the snap of the ending. It wasn’t really until months after the film came out that I said, ‘Ok, now I want to know who the Joker is?’”
